- Sit back and relax during your session, where you will feel a mixture of cold air and some heat with each pulse. Let the nurse know if you have any pain during the session.
- Over the next two weeks, hair will grow back out and then if you pull on it or leave it, it will fall on its own. If after 10-14 days you notice there is still hair that has not fallen out, call us to book a complimentary touch-up session for the existing area.
- Book your next session within 4 weeks or once the hair is fully grown back.
